out Tacoma
The Shelton boys' rugby 15s team de-
feated the Tacoma Tsunami 13-0 Satur-
day at Oakland Bay Junior High School.
"We knew Tacoma would bring us a
hard hitting game because they always
bring good-sized people," coach Zach

ing our side game. We gained about 20
yards every time we got the ball."
Jake Drouyor scored Shelton's lone
try, while Gordon Henry made the
team's conversion kicks.

friendly match
